The Sears Roebuck and Co. Tube Amplifier Model 1473 is a vintage audio amplifier that is highly sought after by collectors and audio enthusiasts. This particular model, known as the 1473, offers a classic design and performance that is characteristic of vintage tube amplifiers. With its iconic brand and unique features, this amplifier is sure to be a standout piece in any vintage electronics collection. I originally acquired this amp to rebuild the enclosure, but currently do not have the time and need the space in my shop. The amp itself was “working” and there is a 1/4 jack I added to test with my bench cabinet. Will definitely need some new caps and pots.

This is a LUX SQ-38D vacuum tube amplifier. Being a very old used item, it has scratches from use, please check the photos for the condition. The amplifier was previously used by a family member as a hobby, but has been stored in a warehouse for about 20 years. When connecting a PC to AUX-1 and connecting speakers to SPEAKERS L R’s 0 and 8? , sound was confirmed on R, but no sound was produced on L. When connecting a PC to AUX-2 and connecting speakers to SPEAKERS L R’s 0 and 8? , sound was produced on both L and R. When connecting a PC to TAPE and connecting speakers to SPEAKERS L R’s 0 and 8? , sound was produced from both L and R, but the sound was muffled and quite poor. Operation of PHONO 1 and 2 has not been confirmed. The MODE was tested in stereo only; other modes were not checked. The BALANCE was responsive.
This is a used Lux vacuum tube amplifier that has been tested. It requires four 6RA8 vacuum tubes to operate (not included). Deteriorated components such as capacitors have been replaced. The main unit has scratches and rust, but there are no severe stains or dents.
Step back into the dawn of radio with this Westinghouse Aeriola Senior Amplifier, Type AC, Style 326032 – a rare and historic piece from the early 1920s, when wireless listening was still a brand-new frontier. This handsome wooden-cased unit was designed as a two-stage audio amplifier, boosting signals from the Aeriola Senior and other crystal sets so listeners could drive a loudspeaker or multiple headphones. It represents one of the very first commercial steps from headphones-only crystal radios into amplified home listening. Authenticity: Still retains its original instruction sheet inside the lid, complete with Westinghouse branding, wiring diagrams, and connection notes – a true time capsule. Controls: Dual filament rheostats on the front panel, original jacks and hardware, clearly labeled “Detector” and 1st / 2nd Stage. Construction: All-original interior with early transformers, hand-soldered connections, and period wiring – a look at radio technology just as the vacuum tube was changing the world. Condition: Excellent presentation with only light wear consistent with age. Wood case shows a warm patina. Inside components are intact (see photos). This piece is untested and offered as-is for display, restoration, or collection. Collectors know how scarce these early Westinghouse amplifiers are, especially complete and with the factory instruction card still present. Whether you are a serious antique radio enthusiast, a museum curator, or a lover of early 20th-century technology, this amplifier captures the excitement of the “Radio Boom” era like few other items.
Looks like a 1950s amp chassis with 2x 6L6G specified for the output tubes; two different rectifier tubes (5Y3, 5V4-G) and a 6SN7-GT as preamplification or driver. A good number of transformers and chokes here – take a close look at the part numbers and codes and you might be able to cross-reference some older gear US military? That would help identify this piece. The chassis measures approx. 16″ x 7″ x 3. Weighs about 23.7 lbs. Thank you for looking!
